I would consider Marc's labs as a great investment. I was very skeptical at
first. After purchasing them I realize what everyone is talking about. The
labs get you thinking differently about things. I certainly would not have
tried certain scenarios that Marc presents. You would most likely never see
them in the real world either. Looking at these concepts from such an
obscure angle gave me a deeper understanding of exactly how they work.
I look at these labs as exercises for the big event. Much like an athlete
training for a big event. If you were a football player in training you
wouldn't always play scrimmages to practice. You would do sit-ups and run
sprints and the like. Some of these labs are like scrimmages and others are
like running sprints.
All in all the labs are a great supplement to whatever exercises you are
already doing.
Any money you invest in your education will come back to you over and over.
Reselling the labs to recoup your costs is a moot point.

Marc's labs rock. I would hope the actually lab is quite different than
Marc's labs or someone might find themselves in serious NDA hurt from Cisco
(lawsuit). A lot of tricks you might see in the lab exam can be found on
Marc's labs. The lab setup is way different, but the "tricks" are there. I
used Marc's labs, and gee, I passed! :)
I consider the $$$ towards Marc's labs a really good investment for
obtaining CCIE status and I would recommend it highly to others. Those labs
aren't the only things I used to prepare for the lab exam, but they were a
good portion of it. When you buy the labs, he gives you the actual working
configs as well. It really helps the learning process quite a bit.
